This thesis examines the development from the novel perspective of medievalism—the study of the Middle Ages as an imaginative construct in western society after their actual demise. It offers a selection of the best known neo-Gothic artifacts in the city, describes the technological innovations which distinguish them from the medievalist architecture of the nineteenth century, and shows the motivation for their creation. The significance of the California Arts and Crafts movement is explained, and profiles are offered of the two leading medievalist architects of the period, Bernard Maybeck and Julia Morgan.

  • Classy City: Residential Realms of the Bay Region
    Classy City: Residential Realms of the Bay Region Richard Walker Department of Geography University of California Berkeley 94720 USA On-line version Revised 2002 Previous published version: Landscape and city life: four ecologies of residence in the San Francisco Bay Area. Ecumene . 2(1), 1995, pp. 33-64. (Includes photos & maps) ANYONE MAY DOWNLOAD AND USE THIS PAPER WITH THE USUAL COURTESY OF CITATION. COPYRIGHT 2004. The residential areas occupy the largest swath of the built-up portion of cities, and therefore catch the eye of the beholder above all else. Houses, houses, everywhere. Big houses, little houses, apartment houses; sterile new tract houses, picturesque Victorian houses, snug little stucco homes; gargantuan manor houses, houses tucked into leafy hillsides, and clusters of town houses. Such residential zones establish the basic tone of urban life in the metropolis. By looking at residential landscapes around the city, one can begin to capture the character of the place and its people. We can mark out five residential landscapes in the Bay Area. The oldest is the 19th century Victorian townhouse realm. The most extensive is the vast domain of single-family homes in the suburbia of the 20th century. The grandest is the carefully hidden ostentation of the rich in their estates and manor houses. The most telling for the cultural tone of the region is a middle class suburbia of a peculiar sort: the ecotopian middle landscape. The most vital, yet neglected, realms are the hotel and apartment districts, where life spills out on the streets. More than just an assemblage of buildings and styles, the character of these urban realms reflects the occupants and their class origins, the economics and organization of home- building, and larger social purposes and planning.

This also includes an analysis between Hearst and Roosevelt, and noting the varying levels of influence between the two. This thesis will demonstrate that William Randolph Hearst is a prominent figure of 20 th century history, but was overshadowed by Roosevelt. Hearst while powerful was always putting his power into ventures that would backfire politically. When his papers declined, his influence over politics plummeted instantly.

  • The William Randolph Hearst Archive: an Emerging Opportunity for Digital Art Research and Scholarship1
    The William Randolph Hearst Archive: An Emerging Opportunity for Digital Art Research and Scholarship1 Catherine Larkin, Long Island University William Randolph Hearst (1863–1951) was a complex individual best known today for his successful 125 yearlong publishing and media dynasty. During his lifetime, Hearst was portrayed as a demagogue and maligned as the model for the the1941 film character Citizen Kane. Hearst developed a reputation as a magpie lacking self-discipline and discretion in the acquisition of works of art; 2 yet, Hearst remained passionate about antiques and collected objects for over seven decades. His enthusiasm for art collecting began under the guidance of his mother, Phoebe Apperson Hearst (1842-1919), during their first trip abroad, when he was only ten years of age. Phoebe Hearst, a compulsive collector herself, wrote home to her husband George Hearst (1820- 1891) regarding their son, “he wants all sorts of things; the boy has developed a mania for antiquities.”3 Her collection is the foundation for the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology in Berkeley California, which houses over three millions objects today. David Nasaw, in his biography of Hearst revealed that William’s childhood was marked by impermanence; “His father seldom saw him and his mother, whom he adored, often disappointed him, disappearing too often and too early.”4 William Hearst clearly clung to and identified with his mother and her 1 possessions. After Phoebe Hearst’s death in 1919, William, as the only heir to a mining fortune amassed by his father, George, was free to acquire works at a feverish pace.

She earned an undergraduate degree in civil engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 1894 and was the first woman accepted into the architecture program at L'Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. (Although Morgan arrived in Paris in 1896, it took her two years to convince L'Ecole that women should be allowed to study architecture.) After serving stints in the offices of Paris and San Francisco architects, Mogan opened her own architectural firm in San Francisco in 1904. By then, she was living in a remodeled Victorian home. The first woman architect to be registered in California, Morgan designed many residences in Berkeley, Claremont, and Piedmont and such institutional buildings in Berkeley as the Baptist Divinity School, Phoebe Apperson Hearst Memorial Gymnasium, St. John's Presbyterian Church, and Women's City Club. She also designed a large number of buildings commissioned by women's groups in California, Hawaii, and Utah, including social clubs, sorority houses, and YWCAs.
